Is HTML that way because of it being HTML, or have browsers just decided to brute force their way into handling the slop so that people won't blame the browser for not doing it correctly?

React.js with JSX (which people use to avoid writing HTML) is basically the opposite on its tolerance for mistakes but somehow it seems pretty popular, to say the least.
